Dordogne... Two acres of grassland, untouched and full of knapweed, absolutely crammed with butterflies. Walking through produced clouds of fritillaries, yellows, blues and browns. The connected habitats and lack of human interaction makes for a hugely biodiverse space that is refreshing to see.

Moth trapping with a black light in France (Le Mans & Dordogne) recently has produced some amazing species that I would love to see in my home trap! #teammoth #mothsmatter

Although common here in my garden, it's always nice to see these two colourful micros: Y. dentella and C. pinella. VC15 #mothsmatter

Lesser-Spotted Pinion was the highlight amongst 92sp over night. Possibly the first I've ever knowingly seen. Also of note: 3x Light Crimson Underwing, Olive Crescent, Jersey Tiger and Dusky Hook-tip. VC15 #mothsmatter

Thought I'd jump on the bluesky wagon and open my account with this cracking Clouded Magpie caught last night on a misty, moonlit site near Orlestone. #mothsmatter #teammoth
